2 Claims.

This invention relates `to a ready made or preformed necktie, and has for an object to provide a necktie 4which can be easily and quickly put into place and removed and one K 5 which will not wrinkle in the ordinary manner.

A further object of this invention is tov provide a slightly resilient plate, with the aid of which any ordinary four-in-hand necktie may be quickly and easily and semipermanently converted into a ready made necktie. With the metal form of this invention it is possible to take any ordinary fourl-in-hand necktie and by merely sewing or stitching it according to this invention said necktie may beconverted into a ready made or preformed necktie. With this invention it is possible for the store or merchant selling neckties in the usual manner to likewise provide the metal shell used in this invention and thus afford the purchaser of four-in-hand necktie the option of converting his conventional necktie into a ready made necktie, the merchant or store for a small extra fee taking the necktie of purchasers selection and having it sewed or stitched to the metal form 0f this invention, thereby converting theordinary four-in-hand necktie into a preformed orV ready made necktie without the necessityof cutting the original necktie in any manner or 0f providing any additional piece or pieces for forming a ready made knot.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, as will hereinafter become apparent, this invention comprises the constructions, combinations and arrangements of parts, hereinafter set forth, disclosed and shown on the accompanying drawing. In this drawing,

Figure 1 is a front necktie,

Figure 2 is a front view of the knot portion, showing the outer or front twisted portion of the tie in raised position,

Figure 3 is a sectional View taken on the line 3 3 of Figure 1,

Figure 4 is a side elevation of the metal form, and

Figure 5 is a rear view of the same;

perspective View of the There is shown at i@ the metal shell on which there is to be preformed a knot l l by properly stitching thereto any conventional four-in-hand necktie I2.- This shell l@ and the four-in-hand necktie l2 aside from the thread used in stitching the knot into position form the only two elements necessary in constituting this invention. This shell l is shaped as shown in the drawing, being somewhat tubular in depth and a conventional tapering from a curved upper edge it to a straight lower edge l5, the side edges H5 and I1 eX- tending toward the rear as shown. The side edge Il is provided with an upper anda lower stitch receiving aperture 'I8 and I9 while the side edge iS is provided with a lower stitch receiving aperture 2t. g A tongue 2l struck out from the lower edge l5 adjacent the side edge I6 projects inwardly to resiliently press against the slidable portions 22 of the necktie i2 to hold it in position.` J To placel the tie l2 in position on the shell lit# the tie vis folded at rightangles across itself, as shown in Figure 2, so that the rear seam containing section 23 ofthe tie is visible. A line of. stitching 2st serves to hold the tie in thisposi-v tion. This sewed portion is then folded over the top I4 of the shell it, thus forming a pocket into which the shell IU may bey received. The line of stitching vd is looped' back over the top E4 0f the shell EEB and then sewed in position by a stitch through the aperture i8. At the lower portion of the shell lli the tie is then sewed to gather it somewhat and then secured through the apertures i9 and 2@ to the bottom of the shell 2 along the line 25. 5

Another line of stitching 2S' serves to gather n the tie so .as to snugly nt about the shell Yill and form a neat` simulated knot! l. The tie l2 is thus secured to the shell li] with only three lines 30 of stitching 24, 25 and 265 and the stitching placed through the apertures i8 and i9 and 20.

To place the necktie in position on the neck, the slidable portion 2?; is placed around the'neck and then brought in between the sides i6 and il which are somewhat spaced apart. It is then' pulled downwardly thereby slipping the knot il into the proper position andthe tongue 2l crushing against the slidable portion V22 serves to hold the tie in the proper position on the neck. To remove the tie the slip portion 22 is merely slipped out between the edges i6 and `ll allowing the sides to be removed easily andquickly. As will be apparent, once the tie hasbeen placed inposition on the shell iii there is no wear or tear on the knot simulating portion l l. yThe knot H therefore never gets that frayed or worn out appearance, and the tie l2 may be worn or used as long as desired and still remain neat and clean v looking.-

If for any reason the necktie l2 is to be discarded the shell l@ may be easily removed therefrom by removing the stitching and applying it to another necktie of conventional construction in the same manner as above described.

The novel features and the operation of this device will he apparent from the foregoing description. While the device has been shown and the structure described in detail, it is obvious that this'is not to be considered limited to theexact form disclosed and that changes may be made therein within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Having thus set forth and disclosed the nature of this invention, whatis claimed is:

1; For use in preparing a ready madeV necktie, a pre-shaped metallic shell having the shape of a necktie knot, said shell tapering from a curved upper edge to a straight lower edge, and being' open at its rear from the top to the bottom, Ya plurality of stitch receiving apertures adjacent,

the rear edges of said shell, anda downwardly extending tongue struck inwardly from said shell adjacent its bottom edge to assist in Yholding slip portions of a tie therein, said tongue ending withinthe confines of said shell.

2. VIn a necktieconstruction, a knot simulating Y means comprising a pre-shaped metallic shell of tapered tubular construction having an open end, means in said shell for stitching a necktie thereto Vin knot simulating form, and downwardly extending means struck inwardly vfromfsaid shell for holding the slip portionof the 'necktie in proper position, saidlatterl means endingl Within the connes of said shell.V Y
